Directed by Marc Evans, this drama, rooted in fact, narrates the transformation of Rich Jenkins, a poor miner’s son, into Richard Burton, a star of the Royal Shakespeare Company. This poignant tale also examines themes of paternal relationships, the sacrifices of leaving home, and the losses that accompany them.

However, his English teacher, Philip Burton (Toby Jones), recognizes his potential and steps in as the mentor Richard’s alcoholic father never could be, although this relationship too begins to show signs of strain under the weight of Richard’s lifelong struggles.
